Trail Conditions

March 7th, 2019 -18º Yesterday Jamie arrived back late afternoon from the headpond after an approximately 22 hour run, the Kendall jumped aboard and groomed Newcastle trails 52 South to the Miramichi Bridge, 525 to Curtis Corner Irving then 42 South to the Anderson Bridge and back to home base. We are steadily making progress,…

March 6th, 2019 -18º We are finally making some progress with our trail system. Yesterday Alan tramped and then groomed trail 21 to the junction of 52, then south to Barnaby River turned and back on 52 North to the Miramichi Bridge then back to home base at Kingston’s Petro, great progress. Yesterday Bobby and…

March 5th, 2019 -8º Note that the Bridge on 515 that crosses the Bartibog River is closed and at this point we do not have an alternate route. Well yesterday Gary, Daniel and Ron got the Lamtrac back up and running, so hopefully the Southside trails will start to get back in shape over the…

March 4th, 2019 -8º Looks like we will be getting about 15cm this time around. Yesterday Gary and Bobby had a look at the groomers and came up with a plan to get the fleet moving again. With any luck by the end of the day we will have a groomer back on the trail,…

March 3rd, 2019 -7º We now officially have no groomers operational, Kendall started out last night with the old BR180 but noticed it wasn’t working properly, it has the rubber off one wheel that keeps the track in place plus there is something wrong with the computer, so he tried the new BR180, which already…

March 2, 2019 -16º Just can’t seem to catch a break, yesterday Gary, Daniel and Ron fixed the Lamtrac and sent it back to get some trails on the Southside groomed up. Well Alan did trail 21 to Black River and then 510 and 511, went back to Kingston’s to fuel up and (nobody will…

March 1st, 2019 -15º We keep trying to get the Southside trails groomed but the road blocks just keep coming, after Connor fixed the block heater and it warmed up for a while Alan got all ready to get going and when he moved the machine noticed that we have another bearing gone, so loaded…

February 28th, 2019 -21º Looks like this bitterly cold will end by tomorrow. Please be extra careful out there, there is major drifting and some in very unexpected places, so use caution when out until we can get this cleaned up. The problem with the Lamtrac has been diagnosed and the part should be in…

February 27th, 2019 -18º Very cold and windy night, please be careful out there, lots of drifting. First off I goofed up yesterday in reporting that the trail to Barnaby was groomed, I was looking at the wrong date on the tracking system, so no trails have been groomed on the Southside since the storm…

February 26th, 2019 -14º If we keep getting big storms like this we will have three feet of trail base. This certainly has been an old fashioned winter as the Farmers Almanac had predicted. We probably received around 39cm this time around. Last night Alan groomed trail 21 to 52 South then out to Barnaby…
